What the Bible Really Says About Fear
📖 Scripture Focus: 2 Timothy 1:7
Description:
This week, as the world puts fear on display, Pastor Travis Mills takes a deeper look at what real fear is—and what it’s not. In this powerful episode of Beyond the Pulpit, Travis unpacks 2 Timothy 1:7 and reveals how the spirit of fear is not from God, but a tactic of the enemy to silence your faith and steal your peace.
You’ll discover:
• The difference between natural fear, spiritual fear, and the fear of the Lord
• How to recognize fear’s grip in everyday life and fight back with God’s truth
• What it means to walk in power, love, and a sound mind—even when the world feels dark
If you’ve ever battled anxiety, worry, or the fear of the unknown, this message will remind you that fear has no place in the life of a believer. God hasn’t given you a spirit of fear—but the power to live boldly, love deeply, and think clearly through the Holy Spirit.
👊 Listen now and reclaim your peace in the presence of the One who conquers all fear.
What if the very things you see as ordinary are actually the keys to God’s extraordinary purpose? In this episode, we’re diving into the power of everyday gifts—those talents and skills we often overlook because they don’t seem “spiritual” or “special.”
Whether you’re a mechanic turning wrenches, a teacher shaping young minds, an office worker keeping things running smoothly, or a stay-at-home mom pouring love into your home—God has placed something unique inside of you. And He wants to use it to make a lasting impact.
We’ll unpack biblical truths, share real-life encouragement, and remind you that your gift doesn’t have to be flashy to be God-sized. Get ready to see your life through Heaven’s lens and discover how your everyday can become someone else’s miracle.
🎧 Tune in and be inspired to use what God has already placed in your hands.
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Pastor Travis sits down with Pastor Caleb Pierce of Vivacious Church in Memphis, Tennessee, to open up about the silent struggles so many people face but rarely speak about.
From private battles with fear, shame, doubt, and burnout, to the weight of carrying pain in silence, these two pastors lean in with transparency and biblical truth. This isn’t just talk—it’s hope. Through Scripture, godly wisdom, and real-life experience, Travis and Caleb remind listeners that they are never alone in the fight.
If you’ve ever felt like no one sees what you’re going through, this episode is for you.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
🎧 Tune in for encouragement, healing, and the reminder that God meets us right where we are—even in the battles no one else knows about.

If we’re all honest, we have all asked God why. We’ve all asked the same question, why does God allow some things to happen? Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? Why do some people deal with loss and tragedies? Why is there sickness, diseases, Persecution, and suffering?
